#### 15.7.9 Updating fields in Word to show linked graphics

When your graphics end up in INCLUDEPICTURE fields, you have to update all fields in Word to show the images; this is a limitation of Word. Use Ctrl-A then F9 in Word to update an entire Word file. If you have a large number of files to do this for, you might want to create a VBA macro in Word to do the updating and then save each file in .doc format, so that you do not have to do it again. You should be able to set Word to do the updating on load, as a Word Auto* macro.
